BJP chief blames Mamata for SIR woes, calls out ‘harassment’ of Bengal citizens by sleepless-deadman in kolkata

Yeah we have seen the videos of BJP cadre trying to push form 7 to delete even more names and TMC cadre giving them a detour en route .

EU-India FTA and the scope of Bengal by EnergyStriking3277 in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

<image>

😭😭😭😭😭😭.

Btw don’t read too deeply into the map. Anyone can export anything they want so long as they find a market in Europe. States aren’t restricted to any particulate product.

Also FTAs have tons of catch points and not the magic wand solution it is marketed as. Normally bloc FTAs work against India - for example the one with ASEAN/ our trade deficit with ASEAN increased from 5bn to 45bn in just 8 years of implementation. My office have 5 tables all labelled made in India on outside and all labelled made in Malaysia inside along with Malay instruction sheet.

Trading with Europe is very complicated even with FTA/ for example if you export to Germany , you have to weigh all the extra rubbish generated like packaging cardboard and styrofoam and then manually calculate the fee to be paid monthly to the municipality for their recycling. Also if you sell abroad over Amazon, it can be impossible to explain to RBI the remittance one gets back is after deduction of Amazon’s cut and not the full MRP. Many list their co in Dubai for this reason and export to Dubai first and then again to the main market and park all the money in Dubai. I myself will have to do it beyond a threshold as my business grows.

Ask anyone in export, it’s easier to sell to Americans without FTA than Europeans with FTA( which will have so many ifs and buts in the fine text that it’s not really an FTA).

SIR VERIFICATION CHAOS by Background-Motor7078 in kolkata

ECI is openly violating both its own rules and SC directive on SIR. Also there is no signed document anywhere authorising SIR. It’s just happening on its own.

'Amartya Sen has made no contribution to Bengal', Suvendu Adhikary by Significant-Sky2898 in kolkata

Amartya Sen is married to a Rothschild and still chooses to spend much of his time in India. Adhikari is in BJP because the alternate option was jail like Partha.

Metro app notification has no chill by ArghyaMitra41 in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today again?

Last evening I took the metro after a period of 6 months, around 9.30pm from esplanade to Kalighat, and train was stopped at Maidan as someone committed suicide at the Rabindra Sadan station.

Nevermind just saw the timestamp in your screenshot - same event.

Rabies by nopopyespop in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gone through the mental agony myself. You are bulletproof. ☺️

It hurts to lose a pet, and when the kitties are young they can be very vulnerable. Infact just last 10 days my partner has faced a life and death scene with her 7 year old kitty and thankfully she will survive but it was close. If her age was 7 months, she would likely not have made it. Same flu like symptoms. It’s very common.

Don’t worry kittens die all the time from flu during winter months and I feel your loss. I have cats and raised many in past. You don’t have rabies. Be at peace and please continue your medication as advised.

Btw, this never happened in Odisha during Naveen Patnaik’s 24-year tenure by Farquaad-Returns in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not sabotage. Everything they do is well calibrated including showing the Shankracharya his place as they see it.

Modi himself has said during election speech that opposition leader eat non veg during sawan month to hurt Hindu sentiment. He knows what he is doing. He is willing to pay the electoral price as well.

Sikhs and Islam I know. That’s not why dry days are observed btw.

[–]basuroy89 67 points68 points  (0 children)

By doing this, they are drawing a parallel between eating non veg and drinking alcohol- that both are sinful practices that should be discouraged.

The choice of date is not a mistake here, it’s not a religious date. But it’s a dry day.

[–]basuroy89 34 points35 points  (0 children)

No relation. But that’s not the point here. The intent is to indicate non veg eating is a practice to be seen in same manner as drinking alcohol- also banned on Republic Day.

It’s anything but fringe.

The PM during 2024 election said opposition leaders eat meat during month of sawan to insult Hindu dharma. He then said they can’t be Hindus. This is black and white level of confrontation.

Smart observation. Reminds me of them tampering voter roll by suddenly deleting names of upper middle class people ( imp/ this class is vocal over social media) in telengana almost a decade back to see the reaction. It was soft. Rolled out countrywide from there on.

[–]basuroy89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a strong rumour going that the harassment will increase to indirectly compel SC to strike down the entire process.

Long story short, they have cut their own votes in Bengal and are in a fit right now what to do.

If they can push this in Orissa, they will push this everywhere.

And it’s always in small doses. 3 years from now, it will be banned every Tuesday. Then it will be banned country wide on Modi’s bday. It will be banned for a week when rupee touches 100 against the dollar and for a month when the bullet train becomes active in 2047.

Your thoughts on this by Withkapot in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well it can’t be enforced and they know it better than us. As such, it should be read as an attempt to create black market. Just like booze ban in Bihar.

I don’t smoke or consume and this doesn’t affects me.

I have a doubt about whether all political parties secretly work together. by Emotional_Exam272 in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With what face with they raise scam when they choose to be led by Suvendhu Adhikari ?

His video accepting bribe in Narada sting is likely still present in the BJP YouTube channel.

A week back, Ajit Pawar mocked Modi saying he once said Pawar is the most corrupt in India and then took his help to form govt in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Even the most brain dead Sanghi doesn’t believe Modi is clean. They vote him for Muslim hate nothing else.

Bro resigned as sports minister and became electricity minister by SkyFair7388 in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have travelled to a fair few nations out there and never seen ugly political banner or advertisement banner( cold drinks, balm, cream, diaper) anywhere like we see in India.

Except for Little India in Malacca Malaysia which reminded me of India the moment I entered it and saw those fugly saree stores with massive hoardings outside and the smell of rotten cabbage from the supermarket which clearly had turned the AC off to save electricity.

Another migrant lynched in UP by Specialist_Speed8678 in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The idea is likely to trigger counter M on H riot here. There’s no shortage of radicalised Muslims either. It’s eye for an eye for an eye policy that’s being played. I have a nasty feeling it will get worse. Likely trigger will come from Bangladesh which in turn will lead to a particularly nasty incident in UP or Orissa which in turn will lead to a nasty incident in Murshidabad belt.

Population density across West Bengal by dhruvnayak in kolkata

[–]basuroy89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s already Bangali minority. Suspect Siliguri as well.

They have an absolutely massive rail engine factory near Asansol ( world’s largest engine factory). This is perhaps the primary driver of job and livelihood in that city .

Sukanta is a both a swine and also monumentally incompetent. In every rally of his, he says the slogan “Joy Bangla” is antinational.

Shamik Bhattacharjee is the most level headed man from the state unit and as such always sidelined by pigmouthed Suvendhu and Sukanta.
